The design practice of Cady Bean-Smith

Soft Target

Book design, writing, content curation

Soft Target is a handbound book inspired by a case of mistaken identity and a citation I received for consuming food on a Washington DC Metro train. Original text, found articles, and images are curated around the themes of mass transit, crime, and nutrition. The table of contents appears on the cover to forecast the absurd tone of the book, and the index catalogues the peculiar attributes of the narrative.
